JOHN G.. RUDOLPH,
Attest: President of Council.
LOUIS SCHILLING. Clerk.
Approved: Nov. 2, 1887.
G. WEsCHCKE,
Mayor.
Approved Nov. 10, 1887 except the
resolution relating to the building of an
ordinary iron bridge across the Mime
sofa river, which is vetoed for the fol-
lowing reasons
l. The resolution is not specific
enough as to what kind of an ordinary
iron bricge is to be built, that is, sta
tlonarA or a span bridge.
1 z. Ii the resolution means station
ary or span bridge, which you prob.
ably mean, it would be an improper
bridge, not in accordance with the law
and unauthorized.
8. | would not approve of the reso-
luton unless the place of building to
be designated is fixed at the present
site OF the old pontoon bridge, which
question seems to be still open.
After 50 much money was spent on
all the roads leading to that point by
this city as well as BY the different
towns in Nicolett County, it would be
unwise to locate the bridge anywhere
else. s
| am in favor of good, substantial,
proper iron bridge at the place desig.
